Is it safe to assume that this has camera and microphone?Is the sound REALLY that bad?AND, can I still hookup to the web by cable?

Yes it has a camera and a microphone and you can hook it up to the web by cable. If you want to watch movies or listen to music then yes, the sound is that bad. The problem can be solved by buying speakers though.

Yes, it has camera and microphone integrated, about sound for the price is ok, but it cannot be compared with higher priced computers with beat audio or others. It has the Ethernet input, but I have never use it, but I suppose that if your cable has a modem with Ethernet you can get connected through it.

Cam and mic yes. Sound is poor. Had to use sound enhancements to boost levels and still not great. LAN connection is there.

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality.

As long as your DVR has at least one audio input jack (RCA style female to match the male jack on the cable) you are good to go. I think you will be pleased with the quality of the microphone and its ability to pick up quality sound. We recently had a hit and run across the street to a neighbor's car and the microphone not only picked up the bang (that was easy) but also the conversations that that the occupants in the suspect car had when they got out to look at the damage they had caused ('move the car across the street and they won't know you did it'). The police loved the audio and of course the great video that I had to give to them too. Case closed!

+++ CORRECTION +++ this camera has both mic/headphone capabilities, it's just that it only has 1 jack, so it's either a mic, or a headphone - NOT BOTH... it does have an 'on board' speaker w adustable volume, so u dont really need t plug in the headphones, but you are 'not able' to monitor the recording, as a result... and so, in the past, i've just recorded a sample, and played it back. p.s. i own 7 of these now, for my biz, and am acquiring more... best 'cheap' hd cam out there, w a dedicated mic input - HIGHLY DESIRABLE!!! i try not to pay more than $120 shipped...

NO, save yourself the trouble and get yourself a Logitech webcam which has 100x the voice quality as well as a camera to boot. I recommend the Logitech C170 for only $10 + Free Shipping on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-C170-Universal-USB-Webcam-Camera-PC-MAC-5MP-960-000880-/351070050805?pt=PCA_Video_Conferencing_Webcams&hash=item51bd67d9f5

Most of the cameras in the market dont have sound. You need to add a microphone to the camera and run the cable together with the power and video lines

the cable alone is not enough to carry both audio and video. you need to purchase a inverter. I've seen them in radioshack at around $60.00.

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

I do not currently use this camera and don't remember whether or not it has a mic or not. It was extremely difficult to setup for me. The seller was very helpful but I was not as satisfied with the setup as I am with the Axis brand cameras that I use. Obviously the price is good. The picture quality was good. I just could never get the port forwarding to work as straight forward as my Axis cameras. I have no connection to either company. Also, you inquired about the 3.6mm version, note that there is also a 2.8mm version.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

No microphone. Some cables offered have mic wire for external mic or different model.

Only thing you are to connect to is the "audio" out. Not the video. Ours is connected to our cable box.Can listen without TV on.

I believe the headphone jack is for the mic, and the USB is for the camera, is you have a separate mic, then you don't need to plug in the jack, a little note, this may not be the best webcam, just a heads up

Hi, Sir,The camera comes with built-in speaker and microphone. You can see and hear over the internet. However, the audio distance works best with 1-2 meters. thank you

Yes it has a camera and a microphone. The sound is pretty bad. I usually use earbuds or a USB speaker if I can't hear whatever I'm listening too.

Is there any issue with using this web cam and the built-in microphone on my laptop? Hope not, it sounds like this is a suprisingly good product.
